As the King of the Jungle, Donkey Kong protects his primitive island home from the evil clutches of King K. Rool and his Kremling Krew. Also known as DK, Donkey Kong is a very powerful ape hailing from Donkey Kong Island, where he spends his days adding to his Banana Hoard and smashing local Kremlings alongside his nephew, Diddy Kong. When trouble stirs on his jungle island, he's usually the first to respond by blasting headfirst into the heart of the action, unless of course he's been captured by K. Rool.

Donkey Kong beats his chest as he intimidates his foes and claims his ground.

Special Traits

Donkey Kong is a heavy, powerhouse character. As such, he's not the fastest and most nimble character, far from it infact.
DK's moveset has been retweaked this time around to reflect his 'Country' and '64' appearances instead of his Mario series appearances.
Donkey Kong cannot glide, crawl, wall jump, or wall cling.

Special Moves

Damage

Details

Standard Special

Primate Punch

10% - 35%

Donkey Kong winds back a gigantic punch for up to five seconds. During the charge, the player can press the Special Move button again, or dodge to store the punch away early. Upon unleashing the punch, Donkey Kong will thrust his fist forward with mighty monkey power and punch his foe with all his wrath. This attack has a significant amount of lag before it can connect, so time well.

Side Special

Rambi Ride

8% - 15%

Rambi appears behind DK before he hops on his back and charges forward in a solo stampede. The player can charge the attack to cause Rambi to sprint forward with more vigor, causing more damage and travelling a longer distance. Donkey Kong can cancel out of the ride at anytime during the torrent by simply jumping off of Rambi, sending the rhino to continue sprinting alone.

Up Special

Barrel Blast

10% - 18%

A Blast Barrel will appear at DK's location suddenly and drag him into it. Using the Control Stick, Donkey Kong can choose a desired direction while in the barrel and by letting go of the button, fire off in the direction the barrel in pointing. DK will be propelled with a moderate force, allowing him to damage any opponents he collides with. If the Blast Barrel is attacked and damaged enough by opposing players, it can be broken, leaving DK without a recovery.

Down Special

Barrel Shield

0%

Donkey Kong will take out a Barrel Shield, as seen from Donkey Kong Country 3, and use it to protect himself from any and all attacks. The wooden half of the barrel can absorb just about all attacks, except the more powerful Final Smashes used against him. The benefit of using the manuever as opposed to just shielding is that DK can not only move around while holding onto it, but he can jump as well. However, DK can not turn around without first putting the shield away.

Final Smash

Super Kong

?%

Donkey Kong powers up as he turns white and now dons a blue tie. As a Super Kong, DK's attacks can cause much more damage as before and he becomes invulnerable to all incoming attacks. His movement capabilities do not change much however. Super Kong will remain active for up to 12 seconds.
